Myanmar: German author asks soldiers to disobey orders
German author Jan-Philipp Sendker has made an appeal to soldiers to disobey orders in Myanmar. His Facebook post has been shared nearly a thousand times.
Writer Jan-Philipp Sendke has spent a lot of time in Myanmar and wrote a series of novels about the country.
German journalist and author has daily contact with his friends and colleagues in Myanmar. Some tell me that they are afraid of being fetched. They are virtually sitting on their packed suitcases, the writer said in a talk with DW. They are afraid of being arrested at night. After all, journalists and authors critical of the regime have already been taken from their homes.
